Confused!!!!

Could someone explain the difference to me? After reading the posts I'm confused.

I have an HP-Vista with AMD Turion 64x2, and says 32-bit Operating System. So then, what does the "64" stand for?

Reply to Skybird re: AMD chip

Skybird:

You computer appears to have a 64-bit processor. It could probably run 64-bit Vista, but your HP came with 32-bit Vista installed.

Sorry, but I'm still confused
Should I write HP and ask them why it says 64x2, but 32bit OS?

Skybird:

It shouldn't be a problem. All it means is that your processor (hardware) is capable of running a 64-bit operating system. It doesn't mean you have to. When I bought my HP Pavilion last month, I chose the 64-bit Vista operating system over the standard 32-bit Vista. You probably could not do the reverse, that is, install a 64-bit OS on a system running a 32-bit processor.

Anyway, if you have more questions along these lines, an HP forum might be a better place than the Microstudio Help forum.

Thanks. My concern was because of reading the Posts where people are having problems running MicroStudio on 64bit - so I wanted to understand what I have before I install. Right now I only have MicroStudio on my XP laptop.

So far, that seems like a good place for it. I'm co-running it there , too, for now.

Skybird, since you have the 32 bit (standard) Vista you should not see the problems listed above if you rum Microstudio on that machine.
